cnosme AND DISCHARGING Means non M cILAGE BOTTLES.

Application filed July 31, 1925. Serial No. 47,200.

My invention pertains to improvements in closlng and discharging meansfor mucilage' bottles, and has for its main object to provide closingmeans for such a bottle which will positively cover and seal themucila'ge, discharging means or sponge so'that 1t Wlll not'dry out, andwill also permit ready use of the sponge and application'of mucilage atany time. Another object is 'to provide an inexpensive and efficientconstruction. 7 Other objects will'appear hereinafter;

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of scribedand claimed.

The invention will be best understood by parts hereinafter dereferenceto the accompanying drawings forminga part of this specification, and inI on line 66 of Fig. 5.

Fig. 7 is an inverted horizontal sectional 7 view taken on line 7-7 ofFig. 5, and

neck 11.

' provided with an Fig. 8 is a detailed view ofthe combination washerand sleeve.

' In Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive I have shown a form of my invention inconnection with a mucilage bottle 10provided with a threaded A sponge orporous member 12, for feeding and applying mucilage or similar fluids,is mounted in neck 11 by means of pins 13 extended through member12, theends of said pins being seated between washers or gaskets 14 and 15'which are supported on top of the neck 11. A threaded collar 16 isfastened on said neck and is inwardly extending shoulder 16 for holdingsaid washers and thereby the pins and sponge in position, and a sleeve17 is formed on theupper part V of said collar for embracing a part ofthe sponge to steady thesame. I provide means for sealing the .sponge ormember 12 air-tight, so as to prevent the same from dryingout while notin use. This means preferably comprises a cap 18 of rubber or similarair-proof and moistureproof material, which is mounted over the sleeve17 and. closes said sponge air-tight on the bottle thereby preventingdrying'out' while not in use.

I preferably also prov de a closing member or hood 19, provided withacurved and slightly resilient portion 19? engaging a suit I able portion"10 on bottle 10, for housing and protecting the preceding elements 12constructed of p metal or some firm rigid material.

. In Figs. 4 to 8 inclusive 'Ihave shown another form of myinvention inconnection with a lnucilage bottle 20 having a neck 21" thereon; asponge or suitable porous meniber 22, for feeding and applylng mucllageor similar fluld, is mounted 1n the neck 21 by the use of pins 23extended through the sponge and having their ends resting on a washer orgasket 24.- seated on neck21; A. washer 25, with a sleeve portion 25 forembracing a portion of the sponge, rests on,

pins 23. A collar .26enga-ges a gasket 27 seated 1n the groove on neck21, 2111(1'15 pro- VlClGCl'Wltll a sleeve port1on'26 surroundlng portion25 of washer 25, said collar with its neck portion retaining members 22to 25 in position.

' to 18 inclusive. The hood 19 is preferably This form of invention isalso provided I with sealing means for the sponge, which preferablyincludes a cap 28jof rubber or similar air-proof and moisture proofmaterial, said cap firmly embracing sleeve por tion 26 and retainingthesponge 22 moist andsoft and always ready for use. Ahood v I 29 of metalor other firm and rigid material is mounted over the cap and collarfor'pro-. tecting the same and is held in position by firmly engagingdents or teeth 30 which are pressed outwardly on said collar.- i

It is apparent from the above-disclosure that a mucilage bottle providedwith 1 my closing and discharging means will have a soft and pliablesponge for properly feeding and applying the mucilage at all times, andthat the air is effectively prevented from reaching the sponge, when thedevice is not in use. thus positively preventing the-sponge frombecoming crusted with mucilage and hard, as is the case with the feedingdevices j on mucilage bottles which are now on the market.

While I have illustrated and describedthe preferred form ofconstructionfor carrying my invention intoetfect, this is capable ofvariation and modification Without departing from the spirit of theinvention. I, therefore, do not Wish to be limited to the precisedetails ofconstruction set forth, but desire to avail myself of suchvariations and modifications as come Within the scope of the appendedclaims.

Having described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent is:

1. In combination With means mounted in the neck of said bottle, pinsextending through said porous means,

' Washersholding the ends of'said pins, and

a collar holding said said neck. H p a In combination with a bottle,porous leans mounted in the neck of said bottle,

washers and pins on Wire pins extending through said porous means,ashers and, a collar for holding said pins and porous means in position,a rubber cap for covering said porous means air-tight, and a strongrigid hood to cover the aforesaid elements. 7

3,111 combination with a bottle having'an a bottle, porous amoisturerool cap removably engaging the projecting portion of saidcollar.

l, In combination with a bottle having a threaded neck, a collarthreaded on said neck and having an inturned shoulder and an upwardlyextending sleeve, a sponge extending from said neck through said sleeve,pins extend ng through said sponge, pliable Washers engaging the ends ofsaid pins and being retained in position between twirl Lnilkl shoulderand the bottle neck, a rubber cap on said sleeve to cover the spongeair-tight, and a strong rigid hood to cover said cap and collar.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
